Jaipur

After the Taj Mahal, we had travelled to Jaipur via road, stopping off at a palace along the way and then taking in the sites/sounds that the road journey provided.

Along the way we stopped off at a Haveli in a village. It is a very tranquil location and would be perfect for a few days stop. The locals were obviously used to tourists stopping by, but we were still something of a curiosity.

The following day we spent some time seeing the sights of Jaipur. I will post some photos shortly but in the meantime......


The cricket

England crushed by Tendulkar ton

At the end of the day it was an excellent performance by India. It showed the class they have in their batting line up and to be honest at the start of the match, a close defeat was probably as much as England could have expected. That said defeats such as this, after being in a strong position are difficult to take and it will be interesting how England react.
